#note or NUMINA, which josh considered. It wins a sim by a point and a bit, I guess the N helps with getting NUM overlaps cause of NU.

#note damn didnt notice MOJO, OVA or OVATE looks great there. Huge miss. Q also prefers AMIE to MAE and MOA, I was worried it gave too much back, but the difference equalizes with the worse leave after MOA/MAE, especially cause vowels don't help to hit a heavy overlap for me. I liked MOA cause I figured EEIT worked a bit better than EIOT for hitting TE- words with JOT, and the extra E to end words in E for JOE. Q says I am wrong, as usual never go with your gut with EO vs. EE, EIOT actually bingoes a bit more. Even OE/JOE sims better than MAE and MOA. Really misplayed turn

#note the idea here is to set up JOINTWEED with a D or ? draw. Given his range, it's good to block JOINT and JOINS, especially cause other plays like WITE 7C or WEET 4D are not much better statically than WITE/JOINT, so it is always worth it to at least play WITE/JOINT. The question with TITI is, is it worth it, and where do you play it? K8 scores 4 more than the placement I chose, which is of course good immediately. With Josh's range though, a lot of Ss, the problem is that JOINTS bingoes or JOINTS plays block JOINTWEED. He could easily have stuff like EILNT, AINRT, in which case JOINTS is not a worry, but with what he had it could get blocked. The 10 row however takes a lot of the load off, since a lot of bingoes that end in S will play at 10b for more points - case in point what happened. I wonder if he would ever take a small point sacrifice to play at L2 to take out the hard to block JOINTS hook, but that really makes the board immediately open so it's unlikely. In a sim, Quackle likes TITI for 20 best with a couple things implied, S or no S. With CEINS, which josh had, it likes still leaving the JOINTS hook, I guess it isn't that big of a deal because of the 10b spot. I still don't mind this placement for recursion, I feel like it might keep the JOINTWEED hook open a bit more longterm. This sims a few points below TITI for 20, which is almost tied with WITE/JOINT.

#note the best endgame for me, 3 points better, was actually to never use O1. S(O), Y(AM), (TA)LE, P(O), (YO)UR, (PO)L, (L)I, pass, R(ES).
